The Coalition Fee Waiver

The Coalition Fee Waiver allows domestic (US) applicants to submit an application without a fee. If you are eligible for the Coalition waiver, when you get to the payment page of an application, your fee will be reduced to $0.

The Fee Waiver profile section includes five criteria that determine your eligibility for the Coalition fee waiver. Answering ‘yes’ to any one of these criteria is sufficient to make you eligible for the Coalition fee waiver. Once you answer yes to anything, on the bottom of the Financial Aid profile section, you'll see a list of all the colleges that accept the waiver. Note that some of the Coalition schools listed may ask for more information about your fee waiver eligibility in their college-specific applications.

Any colleges that are not already on your College List can be added to it by selecting "Add to List" next to the college name.

Key Concept

You must add a college to your College List before you can begin an application to that college.
